Like the ancient Phoenix he rises once again
Legacies still remaining to be born
His passion re-kindled with supreme inner zen
Always giving to the needy and forlorn
For the power of love given freely to all
Comes back to you one thousand fold
It’s a truth that lives on for an eon and a day
May his heart forever be strong and bold
